May I take this opportunity of thanking your organization for the nice gift I received for Christmas. We have just had the long awaited pleasure of receiving Christmas mail on board and it certainly is nice to receive mail from home, and to know the folks back home are thinking so much of the boys in the Services.

Thanking you
I am
Yours very truly,
